Me thinks all the quality Scots left several generations back. Scotland is a net consumer of resources and would resemble Zimbabwe if it gained independence.

It is a truly sorry state to see my ancestral homeland in

Sadly you could be right. However, that was said about Ireland as well. It has taken them a while, but they have damned their naysayers. Look at them now. The economic engine of English speaking Europe.

“Caisteal Foulis na théine” You’re a Munro then?

Utter crap.

And I say that as a staunch British Unionist who wishes Scotland to remain IN the UK...

Scotland COULD go it alone, the question is whether it would be better off alone or as part of the UK.To suggest it would be some dirtpoor country is utter bilge.

Have you actually ever been here?....

Scotland does and would have large natural resources,added to its manufacturing and business infrastructure.And independent Scotland would do well,however I and many believe that it better off using those resources as part of the greater UK/British state.

And I will treat the ‘quality Scots’ remark with the utter contempt such an idiotic remark deserves...

You can say that about all of Europe. The best in the gene pool went to the New World. The best remaining in the European gene pool was lost in the two world wars. What is left is predominantly socialist. Willing to sit on their collective butts and have the nanny state care for them.

Oh, there are a few exceptions, but thanks to Ted Kennedy and the RAT Pukes, they cannot emigrate to the USA. Only the ignorant debris (future RAT voters) from the 3rd world can get in. Few from Northern Europe.

From what I’ve read, the Scots have turned to liberalism in govt. If so, it’s a damn shame.
